What’s the Heartbeat of Your Classroom?

In the spirit of everything we believe in about learning, I wrote ablogon the center of our teaching practice: love. I was so privileged to visit our friend Jennifer Ochoa’s middle school ICT ELA class in Washington Heights, capturing and documenting her teaching moves I’m calling heart work; they make all the difference in a classroom full of complex learners. We need to read, see, and experience the real-life narratives Jen allowed me to weave with her practice now more than ever before.
